Career
Pitt was an England schoolboy international, played in Sunderland"s 1969 FA Youth Cup-winning side, and made his first-team debut in the First Division as a 17-year-old, on 4 March 1969 in a 3–1 defeat away at Coventry City. After only a few more games, and only 21 years old, Pitt sustained an apparently minor knee injury which proved to be a cruciate ligament injury and effectively ending his professional career. In 2013, he was working as a mathematics teacher and head of year at Seaham School of Technology.
